ADRIAN Bayley's actions have had a huge impact, shattering the lives of many people.
THAT'S why Victoria's Opposition Leader Matthew Guy says he's pledged a bipartisan approach to any reform of sentencing by the state government.
Suppression orders on three trials were lifted on Thursday, allowing publication of the fact that Bayley, the sex offender who murdered Jill Meagher, is guilty of raping three more women."He as one individual has made a huge impact on many Victorians by his disgraceful actions, which have seen many changes and continued reform that will be needed to the parole system and law and order," Mr Guy told reporters.Mr Guy said the previous government had made changes to baseline sentencing and abolished suspended sentences. Now, in opposition, the coalition would take a bipartisan approach to sentencing reform.Mr Guy said a review of the parole board had seen improvements but it needed to be regularly monitored to keep up with public opinion.Corrections Minister Wade Noonan welcomed the offer of bipartisan support should further reforms be needed.The previous government had made Victoria's parole system the toughest in the country, the minister said."The crimes of Adrian Bayley are absolutely horrendous and shocking. Quite frankly they sicken me," he told reporters."Through his actions Adrian Bayley has ensured getting parole is very difficult."More than 800 people who applied for parole last year didn't get it, and 700 more had their parole cancelled.Mr Noonan said the government would look at possible sentencing changes, but sentencing had already been significantly reformed in recent years.The parole board's funding had been doubled, and an upgrade of its IT system would be in place by the end of the year.White Ribbon Australia, which campaigns to stop violence against women, says the convictions show a flawed system can ultimately arrive at justice."It reminds us the system does have capacity to deal with the perpetrators," White Ribbon chief Libby Davies told AAP."It also reminds us that the incidence of violence against women is an ongoing curse for all of our community."The massive street march and outpouring of concern that followed Ms Meagher's 2012 murder was also a key moment in elevating the issue in the public consciousness, she said.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
